Stretching along the rugged fjord-indented western coast of the Scandinavian Peninsula into the Arctic Circle and governed from Oslo, the Kingdom of Norway struck its earliest royal silver pennies under King Tryggvason around 995 AD. Produced at the historic Royal Norwegian Mint (Det Norske Myntverket) in Kongsberg—identifiable by its crossed mining hammers mintmark—the Norwegian krone (NOK) and former øre feature royal monograms, holed 1- and 5-krone planchets, and Viking ship motifs.
